Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i have a problem installing sagem fast 800 E4 with debian. Actually i found the driver from ueagle but it is only for kernel 2.6.17-10-11 but i have 2.6.18-4-686. does anybody have the firmware for my kernel version or any work around?

Maybe you are confusing firmware with drivers.
A driver is code that the computer needs to run to talk to a device.
Firmware, on the other hand is data that the computer needs to pass to the device. Sometimes it is code because the device has a CPU, but from the PC point of view is just data.
The point is that you don't need a different version of the firmware.
Now, your question:
if you need help configuring your sagem modem, there's a wiki in the ueagle page. If you cannot help yourself this way, your best option is to post a question in the mailing list (you will find how in the wiki).
